How Do I Know That God Exists?
I have heard this question asked over and over again. It has been asked among friends and family;
it has been asked of clergymen; it has been asked by believers; it has been
asked by unbelievers. Yet I can’t recall
hearing a single logical or even sensible answer to that simple question. The most common, if the flattest answer I
have heard is, “Well you have to have faith.”
Even before
I had any real answer myself, I dismissed that pat answer as being wholly
inadequate and incompetent. As I studied
the question more and more, I realized that an All Wise, All Knowing Omnipotent
Creator, like any human manufacturer/maker, would have wanted to put his stamp
or mark on his creation. Every car
manufacturer does that; every oven, microwave, stove, items of clothing, in
short all manufactured goods have the maker’s logo, or mark stamped on it; and man
is no exception.
Indeed the
more I studied, the more I became convinced that man has a special mark of his
maker indelibly stamped on him and so, in course of time, I made the boast, yes
the boast, that I could prove the existence of God with the accuracy of
mathematics.
The result
is my book Understanding the Existence of God.
In it I proved that God’s existence is positive, probative and
conclusive. That in short His existence can be proved and is more provable than
any other fact on earth, if for no other reason than that He is the source of
all other created things.
I will
shortly present you with the first of several absolutely mind boggling items of
evidence. Evidence so pervasive and self evident you will ask yourself in awe, “How
can I have missed it?” But before
proceeding further, I want you to ponder what has been said so far and come
back here one week hence to receive the first answer to that seemingly puzzling
question, “Does God exist?”
